I keep telling myself – “ I’ve got over Barbie, I moved on to other dolls like BJDs and Smart dolls, there is nothing new in the Barbie world“ – and … I’m always proved wrong. Barbie gets me again and again and I always discover new dolls that I want in my collection ( where will I find space for them !!!), but (unfortunately) older Barbies are also fascinating and maybe I will add some more to my collection.

Well … I went to the Barbie exhibition in Bruchsal a few days ago. Here are some impressions. It was not easy to decide which dolls to take with me – I decided on Laurie (a former astronaut Barbie I have rebodied for more poseability) and Rainbow ( Barbie extra 5)

I find vintage Barbies interesting, but I don’t have any in my collection. I like to look at them, but they lack the poseability I like so much.

Laurie admired Barbie Totally Hair – I must confess – I like her, too.

Barbies that were produced after 2000 are more my kind of dolls as I started collecting in 2013.

Rainbow thought the Rock Concert fascinating.

Hollywood – I’m always fascinated how similar to real people some dolls look.

Another big event was the Barbie movie.

And of course some new dolls entered my collection.

Waiting for more … I’d love the Weird Barbie and Alan.
